New Beetle Buggy Build

[XJLI]

snape lots of people got springs.

i dont think a front spring will work, wont seat right, and theyre too tall. if anything, i think a TJ rear is best. we'll see.



got two tires mounted, the guy mounting them laughed at us when he saw the rims. we trimmed a little, did some massaging with a BFH but the tires are too wide, not too tall, and hit the inside of the wheelwell in the back. plan is to order a set of 2" wheel adapter spacers and throw em on. as for the front, we dont know yet. the base of the strut tower (where the spring sits) sticks out a LOT. we'll have a pair of the 2" spacers to try and fit the tires up front, but if they dont, we're gonna lift the front with another spacer and throw a set of pizza cutters up front.

Adam, you can make a spacer that goes between the strut hat and the shock tower. Bolt the spacer to the strut and bolt the unit in as one piece. Then adjust camber.

it hits right where i circled i know we can make a spacer for the whole thing, but i dont think we can do it safely with what we have. the 8 dollar rubber piece works a good amount.
